Live Stream

Each week we broadcast live during recording.

General Information

The live stream takes place when we record, so there may be a delay while waiting for a guest or a time change to suit their needs. It usually starts around 6pm UTC/GMT (1pm EST) each Saturday.

The next episode’s agenda — which includes recording time — can be found at http://podcast17.com/agenda/. All recording times are listed as both UTC and EST.

Recording is streamed over the shoutcast server which Halflife2.net kindly allows us to use. For the actual recording we use a combination of Skype/CallBurner.

The live stream status can be found at live.podcast17.com. We hang out in our Steam group’s chat while recording.

After recording we usually go and play a mod for a while; we list it on the agenda once something has been decided. It’s usually something released or updated during the week.

Listening

We start the stream a short time before recording; the recording time for the current episode is shown in the top right of the agenda once finalised.
